I do just love it! Look at all that lovely circular bokeh in the background. Took about 20 all at the same time that I just love. Wish she'd been dressed in something different though! Oh well, the best photos are the ones that weren't precipitated :D

My 5 year old daughter actually took this one

Yes my 5 year old actually took this one, lol! But I will count it as my photo of the day because I did set it up for her on the tripod - I just told her when to release the shutter ;) She had heaps of fun and we got lots and lots of cute shots of her baby sis!
Unfortunately there is nowhere in the yard that was all shade, just patches under trees were as good as we could find.

I am compiling a photo book for my Zara's birthday - it's an alphabet book made with photos I have taken. Starts at 'a' - and there will be say, four images of things starting with 'a', next page will be 'b', and so on...
So this is one of the 'b' images.
The DOF is a little shallow but I'm not piling those books up again!

Dodgems!

Gave this a slight crop and straighten and used a preset (free download) called 'fancy snapshot' in Lightroom. Since using Lightroom I now like to edit every photo! I've probably gone a bit over the top - sometime you don't know if you've made things better or worse. Sometimes there's not a whole heap of difference.
Here is the sooc version of today's photo so you can see. Lacks a bit of contrast and "pop" I guess. Although it did look better before I uploaded here.

I thought this was cute. Just loving these underwater shots. They aren't easy though! I like this so much I'll probably take it over to Lightroom to enhance it.

This is sooc (straight out of camera - no edit).
Had just purchased my new little point and shoot and was having a play. I exposed for the sky to get Zara in silhouette there.
Great little camera, very happy with the clarity and colour.
Has all the manual functions you could need but I don't think I'll ever bother taking it off Auto!
